I have a 2000 civic Ex D16Y8 converting to a manual trans in the upcomming months, and i am looking to figure out what would be the best type of trans for my engine. Best gear ratios? would i have to use an OBD 2 trans is there any difference than an OBD1?

Planing on Fidanza lightweight flywheel upgraded clutch adn pressure plate!

i don't want to this to turn into a IACV confusion thread or anything else just transmission posts please!

 

u can use any OBD d series tranny, the best tranny u could get for your d series would be the stock d16y8 5 speed tranny. and its obd 2.

 

ok i figured that it would be the best in terms of gear ratios and ease of instalation and everything but didn't know if there was something that somebody could tell me on this topic.

thanks

 

dont the older Si's have a really short ratio or maybe was the crx...

Why? So that you can get the shift forks that are prone to breakage? I mean, it will bolt in, but why? Only if you can't find what's below.

Poe said it right - you will want the S40 from the Y8 - best ratios and will bolt right in.
